All men should have a moral obligation to support their children despite what evils others may commit. IMO
Certainly I agree.
However, I suspect that the bias in the courts toward the mother make this an unpleasant situation for men. They don't get the benefit of having the child in their life, yet they must pay for it.
End result: the number of men who have a positive view of abortion ("it might help me dodge a bullet") is increased. I suspect that the Left punishes fathers as a way of increasing the political attractiveness of abortion among men.
Certainly, if one cared about the child, one would want to help the father and mother share the parenting roles in a mutually beneficial manner. The fact that this is skewed so much that the father is almost always given a bad deal does not benefit the child, or the mother, or the father. So what's the motivation? Political support for abortion is increased!

I am for representation of the taxpayer. If the man pays, he has to see the child for representation. If he cannot see the child because she does not want to, he should not have to pay.
We do not pay booty to hostage takers, then why should men pay for kids taken hostage / kidnapped by women from men?
Enough of scapegoating men in this.
America is a nation of justice, not of social justice. This run on "deadbeat" dads ignores the deadbeat women who exploit kids for money and keep them away from men. It also attacks protectors of the family, so conveniently because the state simply loves to handle dum or vulnerable single mothers, as it is much easier to do than men.
This society selectively prosecutes whoever puts a threat to a power hungry state, and that is men.
